Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) made an arrest and are seeking the public’s assistance in locating another suspect in a robbery offense that occurred on Oct. 31. 

Two suspects approached a victim at approximately 1:11 a.m. on the 2000 block of Georgia Avenue, NW. One of the suspects waved a bottle and assaulted the victim. Both suspects took the victim’s property and fled the scene. 

A 20-year-old male was later apprehended by the police. 

A second suspect was captured on a surveillance camera and can be seen in the photos below.
